Please carefully read the Program Terms and Conditions set forth below. Admission to the CNVC International Intensive Training (IIT) program is by application only and some applicants may not be accepted into the IIT. Please contact the IIT Department prior to signing the contract if you have questions about the Program Terms and Conditions. More information about the needs we are aiming to meet through this agreement is described in the IIT FAQ.

A. I hereby affirm my understanding and agreement that my participation in The Center for Nonviolent Communication International Intensive Training Program does NOT certify me as an authorized instructor or trainer for or by The Center for Nonviolent Communication (“CNVC”). If I share NVC, I agree that I will not represent myself as being certified or authorized as such. I also agree to follow the “Guidelines for Sharing NVC for Those Who Are Not CNVC Certified Trainers,” unless/until I become a CNVC Certified Trainer. Find more information about becoming a Certified Trainer here: https://www.cnvc.org/certification/process More information about sharing NVC here: http://www.cnvc.org/guidelines-for-sharing-nvc"

B. I acknowledge and agree that the training materials are protected by copyright owned by or licensed to CNVC or trainer. I agree that no copies of these materials, audio or visual recordings of CNVC sessions may be made by me, other participants or IIT staff. I understand "recordings" include audio recordings, video recordings, movie recordings and still photographs.

C. I understand that I am responsible for my own behavior at all times while participating in the CNVC training program. I understand that the program may offer a variety of activities that may be mentally or emotionally challenging and engaging. The level of my participation in any of these activities is at all times completely my choice. I am aware that I may cease my participation at any time. In the event of an emergency, I give CNVC permission to call an ambulance or physician.

D. I understand that the IIT is a closed event and that only IIT participants may partake in the sessions. I agree that I will not bring others to the IIT venue unless they are enrolled participants. (This does not apply to the public event “Giraffes Around The World”, where visitors are welcome and encouraged.)

E. In the event that the IIT for which this is an application does not take place, I agree that CNVC shall have no obligation to compensate me for costs incurred beyond the IIT Tuition. Further, I understand that refunds of prepayments made to CNVC shall be handled according to the IIT Cancellations and Refunds policy.

F. I have entered into this agreement knowingly and voluntarily on the basis of my own information and not in reliance upon representations of CNVC or its representatives. I have read, understand and agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions.
